A rare find- a chatelaine which would have been worn by a nurse. The clip, appendages and 'chains' are either leather or covered with leather so as not to disturb the patients. The attachments are gilt metal as is the top of the scent.
This one has four pieces on it- a notebook, a scent bottle, a pair of scissors with sheath plus a fob watch. The chatelaine clip is base metal covered in the olive green leather and with brown leather binding the edges.
The watch is gilt metal and could well be the original. It has some scratching on the face and as the winding crown is missing I can only assume it is no longer working and may not be repairable. I've included a few photos of the inside- both parts are accessed from the back.
There are a few pencil notes in the notebook-including two road names which suggest it's original owner lived in the Leeds area.
Condition- In very good condition- no damage or staining.
Total length 30cm
The notebook measures 7.5 x 5cm- *****remember to remove the pencil before opening this type of notebook otherwise it will be badly damaged!
